are we allowed to talk about the hippie version yet ? nice box so far.
One screw on the close end on each 2x4 is drilled into the joist but the rest is into the 1/2 osb board due to there is house ducting above on the far end, but that being said that osb is pretty tough, hell in some spots it was hard to even get a screw started lolhey greenthumber, those external joists you have mounted up there for the lights. are they drilled into the room's joists beneath that osb? or is the osb strong enough to just treat as one huge joist?
Hey, Looking good!
Anyway to keep those ballasts outside of your room will save you a bunch of load on the A/C.
I use the same relay box...never a problem.
Its holding it up loosely as they are zip tied together, is that not a good thing?Is that steel strap holding up those coils of electric cords getting warm? Induction heating... could be a concern.
I thought about that to after I hung them up there but after plugging them in there they fit in hole pretty snug so I'm wasn't to concerned about it, never seen a ballast with a clip like that but I think it's awesome for an accidental thing like hitting the cord or something which brings me to want to do something about my situation for suremy only question is about the reflector plugs pointing down....
will they loosen up over time and become a problem?
I bought a hardcore ballast which is a similar style to those type ballast, and it had an extra metal clip to hold the reflector plug into the receptacle... I never hung my ballasts that way so I never thought much of it.... but I saw the pic.... and a light bulb went off... no pun intended...lol
Anyway here's a pic of a ballast with the clip I'm talking about

I don't know if its imperative, but I thought I'd share...
Edit: the simple fix would be to turn them right side up if possible
